The hot-swappable KosaiPM gives telecomms OEMs an easy way to add processing power to AdvancedTCA or proprietary systems equipped with Advanced Mezzanine Card expansion bays.
Control and management of platforms are critical to the efficient and effective use of data and communication networks.
From controlling power to fault management, SpiderWareM3 helps run platforms to reduce operating expenses, minimise downtime, and ensure the best use of manpower.
The software uses an innovative view-and-click interface to ensure smooth platform operation for Emerson Network Power's telecomms equipment manufacturer (TEM) and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers.
"We continually strive to add value for our customers, who need reliable, easy-to-use software and asset management capabilities", says Rod Anliker, Software Product Line Manager for the Embedded Computing business of Emerson Network Power.
"Our SpiderWareM3 solution greatly reduces the time required for assessment and development of our MicroTCA and ATCA platforms, and can be quickly and easily integrated into other software applications".
"And best of all, it's a strong proof point that the promise of industry interoperability is here", he adds.
Key features of the SpiderWareM3 platform that make it applicable for a wide variety of markets, such as military, medical and industrial applications, include: automated acquisition and update of IPMI information from AMC modules and platforms; intelligent alarm monitoring and prioritisation; fault and alarm alerts; sensor threshold setting; monitoring of CPU and memory usage; temperature monitoring and threshold setting; field-replaceable unit information; HPI and XML over TCP/IP interfaces; and DHCP configuration management.
SpiderWareM3 is scheduled to be available this summer.
